A paucity of literature exists for superficial acral fibromyxoma, which typically affects the acral regions of the hands and feet. Because of its indolent nature and clinical mimicry of other ungual and periungual tumors, delays in diagnosis are common. This report aims to augment our understanding of this pathology and improve recognition for prompt diagnosis, as well as provide an addition to the literature.
